Mass Takeoff

Friends, this is not good photography, but i wanted to show you the mass take-offs of Sandhill Cranes during a Crex sunrise. Yes i can rise early but i don’t make a habit of it. If you click on the large image a slide show will take you through the sequence as the birds lower their necks and spread their wings. I wish i could attach an audio clip cause the sounds of all these cranes talking at once is also beautiful. At the moment we have a little snow on the ground so they are talking about the journey south to Indiana, then on to Florida. til Tomorrow MJ
